1316 Junaluska Rd, Andrews, NC 28901

1316 Junaluska Road is a rare Western North Carolina offering — a comfortable, well-appointed ranch home sited on 32.39 acres with a peaceful pond and direct frontage on Junaluska Creek (stocked trout waters). The main house (3,426 SF) is organized for both everyday living and entertaining: a generous formal living room and dining area, gleaming hardwood floors, and a kitchen that functions for serious cooking and family gatherings. A distinct mother-in-law suite provides private sleeping and bath facilities — ideal for extended family, multigenerational living or converting to income-producing guest accommodation.

Beyond the footprint of the house, the property’s outdoor assets are the true differentiator. Step out onto the screened porch to take in mountain views across the pond, cross a short walk to the creek for fly-fishing, or explore trails through mixed hardwoods on the estate. The listing notes a gravity-fed spring water source — prized in rural mountain properties — together with a conventional septic system. Garage and driveway parking are provided; driveway surfaces are asphalt/concrete per listing information.

The home’s layout and volume accommodate flexible living: quiet bedrooms, multiple full baths (4.5 total), and ample finished space for home offices, studios, or fitness rooms. Built in 1970 and well-maintained in presentation, the house blends classic ranch proportions with updates and hardwood flooring throughout.

Location is a signature advantage: Andrews provides a small-town base for groceries and services while the region’s outdoor draws — Nantahala Gorge, Little Nantahala and other western NC rivers and trails — are all within reasonable driving distance. Buyers who prioritize privacy, fishing access, expansive acreage and a ready-to-enjoy home will find this property uniquely compelling. Inspections for septic and spring/well are recommended to finalize purchase terms.

The Junaluska valley outside the town of Andrews is rural and scenic — a patchwork of forest, pasture and creekside properties. The neighborhood character is low-density and recreationally focused, attracting buyers who value privacy and direct access to streams and trails rather than urban amenities. Local community ties are strong and services are provided through Andrews and nearby Murphy.
